Chapter 941: Chapter 372: Only I Am Invincible!

“I actually had no choice but to come, the trust of the Seventh Generation Grand Master Dugu Shou and Xian Hongchen in me is limited. This time, being away from the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace when the incident occurred allowed me to rid myself of suspicion.”

At this moment, Wan Qi Luohou closed his folding fan abruptly, his face serious: “Aside from that, I’ve discovered some news that must be reported to the Sect. The court might be planning to use the ‘Heaven and Earth Root’ as a setup to plot against our sect, please make sure the sect is cautious.”

“Heaven and Earth Root?”

Qingxuzi raised his white eyebrows and then chuckled: “Not long ago, there were indeed rumors about the Heaven and Earth Root in the Central Earth Territory. I found it strange at the time, how come there’s suddenly another Heaven and Earth Root in this world? It seems it was done on purpose. Is the court so confident they can ensnare us?”

Upon hearing this, Wan Qi Luohou smiled bitterly: “What if they present a genuine ‘Heaven and Earth Root’ as bait? This is a trap, but also an opportunity, almost an open plot. Chu Ming, this woman, is a pawn of Emperor Jianyuan and should never be relied upon.

And since Junior Brother Chu’s talent is extraordinary, as long as he obtains this item, he can certainly perfect the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade. However, our sect will have to pay a significant price for it. What the sect decides next will be crucial.”

What surprised him was that Qingxuzi did not have much reaction, his face calm as he said: “A real Heaven and Earth Root? They sure are willing to spend. But to our sect, this item is actually not very crucial.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Qi Luohou was stunned and looked at Qingxuzi with a bewildered expression, his heart full of confusion.

Qingxuzi gave a light laugh: “You are a core elder of the sect, with holy transmission of magic, you have the qualification to know about this matter. Chu Xisheng already possesses the Vengeful Bloodline, there’s no need to switch with the Heaven and Earth Root.”

Wan Qi Luohou’s pupils slightly contracted, his expression incredulous.

Then an immense joy surged from the bottom of his heart: “Really? So the White Tiger Bloodline of Junior Brother Chu is merely a feint?”

He then frowned deeply, making his brows form a character like “川”: “Master Uncle, you shouldn’t have told me this. As things get disclosed, one is bound to lose oneself, and as people are not secretive, they are bound to lose their ministers, the lessons of the Dominating Martial King are not far behind.”

“This matter cannot be hidden anymore. When Xisheng leaves the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, the item we’ve crafted for his bloodline conversion is bound to become ineffective. Currently, the people aware of this are not more than twenty, and you are one of them.”

As Qingxuzi said this, he turned his eyes, filled with a leisurely gaze, towards the direction of Wang’an City in the west.

“I just wonder what the court’s Heaven and Earth Root plot is like?”

If the timing is right, he might be interested in playing a match with the court before the truth is exposed.

Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, beside the cliff on the Earth Abyss North Shore.

The tall and slender young man had already noticed that Ji Qianqian’s words and aura were off.

He frowned deeply, his gaze sharp: “Commander Ji, what do you mean by this?”

Ji Qianqian had already let her Solo Supreme Blade hang by her side. She looked up, her eyes quiet, staring at the seven people in front of her: “I initially planned to wait for a while before dealing with your matters. But since you are so impatient to come in, I shall fulfill your wish.”

The seven men in black were startled upon hearing this; they all sensed that Ji Qianqian had targeted them with a cold and fierce killing intent.

Among them, the white and chubby man was even more astonished: “Deal with us? Are you planning to attack us? I didn’t expect you to truly be infatuated with this pretty boy.”

Previously, his companions speculated as such, but the chubby man didn’t believe it.

Unexpectedly, the most unlikely thing happened.

A man beside him had an icy aura: “I think Ji Qianqian, you are out of your mind. Betraying the court and the Police Pool of Blood for a pretty boy, do you know what the consequences are?”

The slender young man gave a sinister smile: “This is rather interesting; you and Xian Hongchen were both personal disciples cultivated by the Seventh Generation Grand Master Dugu Shou. So, today, are you going to disregard all the court’s laws and the teachings of your master for your lover?”

Ji Qianqian didn’t mind these words at all. She glanced at the seven people present: “Ghost Hand Shen Qi, Yama Sword Commanding Three Questions, Extreme Wind Leg Qi Jun, none of you are river and sea bandits, just devil fiends. Each one of you is a wanted criminal by the court! I didn’t expect my senior brother to fall so low, colluding with such devilish scums as you.”

“That’s right, all seven of us are wanted criminals by the court.”

The slender young man laughed loudly: “But this is not some mere collusion. We are currently working for the court. Your senior brother and Eunuch Mu from the Inner Palace have both personally promised us that as long as we eliminate Chu Xisheng, there would be generous rewards, and they can help cover up our past crimes.”

In fact, what the two promised is not limited to just these things.

These people would not care about some court record.

If not for the orders from that master, they would never have joined forces with the court’s hawks.

But there’s no need to explain these matters to Ji Qianqian.

He looked at Ji Qianqian with a teasing expression: “Commander Ji, should know who Eunuch Mu is? He is the emperor’s servant, the most trusted imperial eunuch of Emperor Jianyuan. Thus, to kill Chu Xisheng is the will of the emperor and the Seventh Generation Grand Master. You are obstructing us from killing Chu Xisheng today, which is defying your sovereign, which is rebelling against the court!”

At this moment, the white and chubby man, who had his face covered, also sneered coldly: “I remember Commander Ji practiced the ‘I Am Supreme Blade’? Known as Sword Supreme, Arrow No Shadow?”

He was curious how much strength Ji Qianqian would have left after abandoning her own beliefs and will.
